How are you doing guys? I am a Filipino University student currently doing his thesis. I just want some advice since I am planning to Singapore this February.

Well, I want to get 300 respondents who are University students for my survey. When I arrive there, I was thinking I could just go to some cafe or public places where many people hang out and ask politely to answer my questionnaires.

So my question: is it okay for me to ask people in public to answer my survey? Are there some law that prohibits me from doing that (since Singapore has a strict government)? or it might be inappropriate in a Singaporean cultural perspective?

If you have any suggestions or alternative way of accomplishing my task, please do tell me. Thank you for taking time reading my post! Have a nice day!

Interesting...

Did you do some research on how Singaporeans react to strangers, especially Aliens - asking questions ?

Hi there, it is perfectly ok to just stand around and ask the public, either in universities or cafes. Definitely not against the law. Many students usually need some sort of survey for their work too and it's pretty common.
